Colourful façades glisten in the sun, shady courtyards open up between ancient walls, and the water of a cenote shimmers behind the green foliage of the trees. The Yucatán Peninsula combines impressive Mayan sites with vibrant towns, dense mangrove forests and charming coastal villages. For those wishing to discover Mexico beyond Cancún, here are eight special destinations for a journey combining culture, nature and relaxing days by the water.
Namibia is often described as ‘Africa for beginners’ – and for good reason. The country is easy to explore independently, the infrastructure is good, and many of the most spectacular landscapes can be reached by hire car. Yet the first impression could hardly be more rugged: endless expanses, dusty tracks and massive sand dunes, with not a single house in sight for kilometres on end. In this article, we’ll show you the best stops, experiences and travel tips for an unforgettable road trip.
When the vineyards turn golden, the scent of roasted chestnuts hangs in the air and truffle season begins in the woods, Europe shows itself at its most delightful. You don’t have to travel far for a culinary autumn getaway: in Switzerland and the neighbouring regions, wine festivals, traditional inns and specialities that taste particularly good at this time of year await you.
Volcanic landscapes, golden bays and snow-capped peaks: a tour of New Zealand brings together completely different worlds within a surprisingly small area. This three-week itinerary takes you from Auckland across the North Island, through the Marlborough Sounds and along the Southern Alps to Milford Sound – with plenty of time for hikes, short detours and quiet moments by the water.
São Paulo is huge, noisy and, at first glance, perhaps a little overwhelming. But if you give this Brazilian megacity a few days, you’ll discover a surprisingly diverse city. Whilst three days are hardly enough to get to know Brazil’s largest city in its entirety, they’re ideal for getting a first impression. We’ll show you how to combine São Paulo’s main attractions, most exciting neighbourhoods and culinary highlights in a way that makes the most of your time.
Southern Vietnam reveals a completely different side to the country: in Ho Chi Minh City, skyscrapers, markets and a vibrant food scene set the pace, whilst just a few hours away, the waterways of the Mekong Delta wind their way through rice fields, coconut groves and small villages. Off the coast, Phu Quoc and Con Dao await – two island worlds that could hardly be more different. We’ll show you what makes South Vietnam so special and which experiences you shouldn’t miss on your trip.
When people think of Vietnam, they often picture Hanoi in the north and Ho Chi Minh City in the south.

In this article, we highlight the most beautiful places, experiences and travel tips for a trip through Central Vietnam.
Set between Table Mountain and the Indian Ocean, South Africa showcases, on a round-trip tour, just how many different worlds can fit into a single country. The route takes you from Cape Town through the wine region, along wild coastlines and tranquil lagoons, via the famous Garden Route to the Addo Elephant National Park – passing through small coastal villages, unspoilt forests and landscapes that are well worth a detour.
North Vietnam captivates visitors with its varied landscapes, fascinating culture and a unique atmosphere. Set against a backdrop of mountains, coastline and rural areas, the country reveals a particularly diverse side and offers numerous opportunities for experiencing nature, going on excursions and making new discoveries. We’ll show you which places are worth a visit, how the different regions can be combined, and what you should bear in mind when planning your trip.
Ho Chi Minh City – still affectionately known as Saigon by many locals – is a city of contrasts. French colonial buildings stand side by side with modern glass skyscrapers, whilst centuries-old pagodas are just a stone’s throw away from trendy third-wave cafés. Amidst it all, traffic flows seemingly chaotically through the streets. Anyone travelling through Vietnam should not miss this vibrant metropolis. Here are our top tips for a few unforgettable days in Saigon.
Toulouse glows a warm shade of pink when the sun shines on the brick façades of the old town. Situated between the Garonne and the Canal du Midi, this southern French metropolis combines Romanesque churches and Renaissance palaces with lively markets, contemporary art and space exploration. These Toulouse attractions, neighbourhoods and places to enjoy make for a varied city break in the ‘Ville Rose’.
Hanoi is a city full of contrasts: in the narrow alleyways of the old town, motorbikes, small food stalls and traditional shops jostle for space, whilst just a few steps away, temples, lakes and colonial buildings create a completely different atmosphere. Join us as we explore Hanoi’s finest aspects – from well-known sights and culinary highlights to tips on the best time to visit, getting around and budgeting.

We’ll introduce you to 10 dishes you simply must try on a trip to Thailand – and let you know where you can find the best versions of these specialities.
Koh Phangan and Koh Tao can be perfectly combined into a varied island holiday.

In this travel guide, we’ll show you how to explore both islands in seven days – with a relaxed itinerary, hand-picked stops and our personal tips.
Khao Lak is renowned for its long sandy beaches and luxurious resorts. But anyone who experiences the region solely from a sun lounger is missing out on its true charm. In the hinterland lies one of the oldest rainforests on earth, whilst off the coast are some of Thailand’s most spectacular diving spots – and the region’s recent history continues to shape it to this day. We’ll show you which experiences away from the hotel complexes are truly worthwhile.
When the maple forests turn red, orange and gold, Eastern Canada reveals one of its most impressive sides. An unforgettable tour of Eastern Canada takes in Toronto, Ottawa, Montréal and Québec City, as well as Niagara Falls, tranquil lakes and the forests of Algonquin, Mont-Tremblant and La Mauricie. Along the way, you’ll experience a mix of city life, gentle walks and long scenic drives.
If you browse through travel blogs beforehand, you’ll usually see the same places mentioned when it comes to Phuket – as if the rest of the island were hardly worth mentioning. Yet for us, Phuket’s special charm lies precisely where the classic itineraries end: at local markets, in simple restaurants, in small villages, in the rainforest and on the island’s quieter coastlines. This post showcases a different side of Phuket over seven days – not with the aim of covering the whole island, but to discover those aspects that are easily overlooked amongst the well-known highlights.

In this article, we’ll show you the most beautiful beaches and sights, and give you tips on how to get there, how to get around and the best time to visit.

Koh Samui fits this image perfectly – whilst offering far more than just a picture-postcard idyll.

Golden evening light on the facades of the Old Town, the scent of freshly baked bagels in Mile End and the rustling of maple leaves on Mont Royal: Montréal appeals to all the senses.

Koh Lanta captivates visitors with its long sandy beaches, turquoise waters and tropical scenery.

In this article, we’ll show you the most beautiful sights, exciting neighbourhoods and hidden gems, culinary highlights, as well as practical tips for your city break to Istanbul.
Venice, Barcelona and Mykonos are dream destinations for a reason. But when long queues form outside the sights and the narrow streets of the old town leave barely any room for everyday life, it’s worth looking beyond the well-known names. These ten alternatives to popular destinations offer a similar travel experience – with more peace and quiet, surprising discoveries and, often, a closer connection to the place itself.
Glasgow is often overshadowed by Edinburgh – completely unfairly. Scotland’s largest city surprises visitors with its magnificent Victorian architecture, fascinating museums, a legendary music scene and neighbourhoods full of little cafés, restaurants and independent shops. In this blog post, we’ll show you why Glasgow is the perfect destination for a varied city break.
Sometimes it doesn’t have to be Paris or Barcelona. For a relaxing weekend, a city that isn’t immediately at the top of everyone’s travel list is enough – and that’s precisely what makes Bremen so appealing. Two days, no packed itinerary, just a travel bag and a sense of curiosity about a place that many know primarily from the fairy tale of the Bremen Town Musicians. In this article, we’ll show you which sights, culinary hotspots and special places you can discover during a weekend in Bremen.
